KKK distributing more fliers, this time in West Ashley

CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCIV) - Alice Kryder was shocked to find out that her next door neighbor found a Ku Klux Klan flier sitting in her driveway.

"I've been here 11 years. Nothing. I've never seen anything like that before," said Kryder.

The fliers were read "you can sleep tonight knowing the Klan is awake" and had a phone number for contact called the "Klan line". The fliers were thrown around in several West Ashley neighborhoods.

"I'm surprised that there still is an active community of the KKK going on," said Kryder.

"It's a little unnerving to know that something like that was dropped off near our homes," said Lynn Garvin who lives across the street from Kryder.

Garvin is a mom of three and says a message from the KKK is the last thing her children need to see.

"My two younger ones really just, they just don't need to be seeing stuff like that right now. I mean when they ask me if they learn about it in school or something like that I'll be glad to elaborate but, I don't need an outside person to do my job," said Garvin.

Thankfully, the message never got to her children. A neighbor saw the fliers, picked them up and called police before she got home to see them.

"They were coming into a place where they were generally not welcomed. And, putting stuff in our place of residence without even asking permissionI hope that they realize they're wrong," said Garvin.

Charleston police confiscated the fliers and are investigating the case.

According to an incident report, flyers were also on other neighbors' driveways, one for almost every driveway or mailbox in the neighborhood.A witness says he saw a pickup truck with two men inside driving through the neighborhood distributing items but he didn't know what those items were.The day before, Charleston County Sheriff's deputies were called out to another West Ashley neighborhood for the same complaint.Similar flyers were also found in a Ladson neighborhood back in November of last year.
